Sorry Nick.

 

Yes it can but you would need to replace the motherboard.

 

(15) Processor (includes replacement thermal materials):

NOTE: Only valid on models with Intel processors. On AMD models, the processor comes with the system board and

cannot be removed.

 

Your manual here.

I think it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop than to change the motherboard.
